getting stuff done!

well, today has been a day of lists. we looked at rehearsal dinner locations, salons, guest lists, and candy buffet items. right now we're looking at doing our rehearsal dinner at mellow mushroom since he LOVES pizza. i'm gonna be calling the salon tomorrow to book a run through when we're in town in july and then booking for the wedding. i'm feeling very accomplished today though, so that's good :)

and so it begins...

i'm helping with another restaurant opening, so i won't have the time to commit to p90x until may 3rd, but then i'm goin full throttle. cutting down on fats, increasing proteins, increasing good carbs (which shouldn't be hard due to gluten intolerance), and remembering to eat high fiber. i don't know if i'll be able to do the full nutrition plan due to my crazy schedule, but i will definately be eating healthier and remembering my vitamins again. wish me luck ya'll!

P90X

So, after hearing about it and hearing about it and hearing about it, I think Scott and I have decided to do the P90X program. We're gonna order it as soon as we get paid and start it up!!!! Wish us luck. I have GOT to look and feel better on our wedding day!

6 months and 2 days.

I have realized that I have six months and two days until I'm married! I have most everything organized mentally. My checklist for the next month:

1. Get a list of addresses from future mother in law for save the dates
2. Find a veil (not sure if I want to go with the birdcage veil or not now)
3. Find a salon for getting my hair did
4. Coordinate who is throwing shower
5. Ask father to take engagement pictures weekend of shower
6. Finalize bridal party
7. Try to find a song for first dance
8. Teach Scott how to dance (HA!)
9. Relax and enjoy it all

So, that's about it. I had an "interview" at another bar this morning so that I can work two jobs to make up for the money I'm not making in pharmacy right now... I think it went well and I should have the job. Hopefully.

I'm sure I'll have more pictures of things to post as I find them

the shoes!

Well, I've been scouring shoe stores like Off Broadway and DSW for shoes. I originally thought about going with blue shoes for my something blue. However, I just found these bad boys and was able to haggle them down to the total price (with tax) of $23.22!!!!

I figured that you proably won't even really be able to see my shoes, so they'll work.

They were half the price of any other shoe that I've seen so far. So they came home with me!

guest book ideas

So, I've finally had a moment or two today to look at more ideas for a fun, unique- yet classic wedding. Here are some of the guest book alternatives I've found. I know that we're going to have a photobooth and we're hoping guests will leave us a copy for our guest book, but some of these are just too awesome to pass up... You never know what we'll end up with!

wedding madlibs! how fun!

being from "music city usa", i love this idea. AND he has some old records from a radio station that closed down. hmmm.... i see artwork potential here...

if we do use the album idea, how awesome would it be to have save the dates that look like albums?

Just a few more ideas that I've found. I laid out at the pool yesterday for a few hours and today I look like a lobster. sooo.... I won't be going outside much today. oh well!

new new and new

well i haven't posted in a while, so i thought i'd bring everyone up to speed.

the girls picked out their dresses when they were here for spring break. david's bridal- love them! unique? nope. classic? sometimes. convenient for everyone? yep! our colors are truffle and cognac. scott and i were at the mall yesterday and i think we're definately going with the chocolate brown suit with a burnt orange/copper tie and vest. it's gonna look so good put together!

we're going to ask bridal party attendants formally in the next few weeks. my bridal party has changed from what i originally thought it would be, so i'm afraid i might hurt some people's feelings. but, my mom and aunt keep reminding me- this is a day for me and scott- no one else.

charlotte is gorgeous. i've lost close to ten pounds since we moved *whew* mostly due to eating better. i'm starting to walk more on the greenways they have here, too! i've loved setting up our new place together. it's amazing how we find stuff that we both love and it works with everything we already have as far as decor and furniture and such.

well, off to clean house. oh yeah, and happy easter!
